Once, Ms. Topa, the renowned senior executive of the Strategic Investment Department of the Intergalactic Peace Company, the head of the Special Debt Collection Team, personally visited the Black Tower space station to collect a debt from Black Tower.
Asta still remembers that Black Tower, seemingly calm on the surface, actually ran away like a flash of lightning, leaving no trace behind.
Black Tower's bill was naturally an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but for Asta, who considered 'star destroyers' as online shopping toys, it was nothing. The rich woman casually pulled out a bank card and tossed it to Topa, nonchalantly saying, "Swipe it, it's just a small amount," successfully making Topa, who had intimidated many people in the company, retreat—or maybe retire?
Black Tower clearly also remembered this somewhat embarrassing incident, and Asta's amused smile made the genius club's Black Tower, who was immersed in research, speechless.
She narrowed her eyes and surveyed her surroundings, causing the space station researchers who were curious about their conversation to fall silent and look away. Only then did she hum, "No~ it~ is~!"
Rolling her eyes, Black Tower suddenly changed her tone, as if expecting a good show, "But it should be a good thing for you."
Asta: "——?"
"Get ready," Black Tower deliberately paused here, waiting until she had piqued Asta's curiosity, before uttering the second half of her sentence, "Have the space station set course for the Luo Fu Immortal Vessel."
"Luo Luo Luo Luo Luo, Luo Fu!!"
Asta's eyes instantly lit up brighter than the space station's lights.
"You can see your beloved again, happy? Excited? Can't you help but jump? Do you want me to install a kinetic ejection device for your shoes?"
"No, no——!"
Asta was teased by Black Tower and became restless, her high heels tapping on the floor of the space station.
Black Tower sneered.
Bah! A woman who says one thing and does another!
You've used your connections to get so many good things for that guy from the Luo Fu Cloud Rider Army!
If the company hadn't been so strict, you would have even tried to steal a percentage of the materials transported to the 'Protection' star god, Klippor, for the company, eager to send them all to Luo Fu!
Black Tower's contemptuous gaze made Asta even more embarrassed. She knew she couldn't hide her fondness for Bai Yu—but what could she do?
Who could have known that when she sneaked out of her family as a child, she encountered danger in the vast sea of stars, and it was that young general who appeared like a prince charming from a fairy tale, saving her from the star-devouring behemoth?
"Black Tower... why go to Luo Fu suddenly?"
"You don't want to?"
"I, you, he—"
"He? He what? What he? Which he?"
Black Tower crossed her arms, with each question, Asta's confidence diminished.
Finally, having avenged the "revenge" Asta had taken for joking about the previous debt collection incident from Topa, Black Tower let go of the girl who was already blushing so hard she was about to smoke, and said softly, "The simulated universe debugging is almost complete, I need someone to test it."
So it was about this?
Asta nodded in realization. She naturally knew about Bai Yu also investing in Black Tower's simulated universe project.
Because she also invested in Black Tower's research, the girl had even secretly rejoiced at night because of this simple shared act.
"By the way, one small matter, your beloved informed me that the Antimatter Legion may invade the space station in a few days."
Asta: "——！！！！！!"
This was the real big deal, wasn't it?
That was the Antimatter Legion! Like a plague of locusts, leaving nothing but desolation in their wake, a legion so terrifying that even children wouldn't dare cry at night!
Why are you so nonchalant, like 'Oh, come on, come on, destroy everything'?
"Look at how anxious you are. It's just the Antimatter Legion," Black Tower rolled her eyes at Asta. She could guess why those guys were coming, wasn't it because of the star core in her space station?
As for reinforcements, even without Luo Fu, Black Tower had a backup plan. According to calculations, the Star Dome Train group would arrive at her space station for supplies soon.
"I see, to leverage Luo Fu's strength to scare off the Antimatter Legion?" Asta immediately misunderstood Black Tower's intentions.
"What are you thinking? Are those guys afraid? Us going to Luo Fu will only make their invasion more intense."
Although Black Tower said this, Asta was not afraid at all.
That was the Immortal Vessel that 'possessed' the Huntress!
A super power that could stand on equal footing with a company that owned countless planets and a population of countless billions, relying only on less than ten starships!
"Then, Black Tower, when are we leaving?"
"When do you want to leave?" Black Tower asked back.
Asta's pink cheeks, which had cooled slightly, started heating up again uncontrollably.
Seeing that she had teased her enough, Black Tower said, "Wait a few more days, I still need to transport some necessary things from Azure Star."
"Oh—"
Asta visibly slumped.
Black Tower: "..."
This girl is hopeless!
After Black Tower left, Asta hurriedly took out her phone and began browsing 'Cosmic Goods'.
"Hmm... clothes! Clothes! The previous clothes are outdated, gotta buy new ones!"
"And gifts!"
The girl's small hands flew, without even looking at the styles, directly selecting 'Select All' from the list, inputting her body size, then quickly checking out and paying, completely unconcerned about the cost, embodying the 'rich woman' aesthetic...
"And cosmetics... hmm! A new makeup tutorial? Still produced by the 'Pure Beauty Knights'? Bought!"
"Bartlett Supernova Core Residual? Perfect material for forging weapons? Bought!"
"Miss... cough, Asta Stationmaster? Stationmaster?" Alan appeared beside Asta at some point. Seeing her engrossed in shopping on Cosmic Goods, he said helplessly, "Stationmaster, the observation team is waiting for your further instructions."
"Observation? What observation?" Asta looked up in confusion.
Alan slapped his forehead: "Observing the stars!"
"Stars? Right, Alan! What if I buy a star for Bai Gege as a gift!?"
Alan: "Oh pu——!!"
To reiterate, for Asta, there is nothing more enjoyable than observing stars—
——Except for seeing a certain young general.
